Avon Safety Mileage AM7 MKII Tire

Avon Safety Mileage AM7 MKII Tire

The tall sidewalls and resultant large OD of Avon's Safety Mileage tire, coupled with its distinctive tread designs (dependent upon size), make it the premium option for those looking for the full-aspect-ratio-appearance without compromising on grip.

• Sawtooth and block patterns (dependent on size) help avoid a too-modern appearance
• Can be run in any position
• For bikes with differently-sized wheelsets, be sure to see the Safety Mileage's mate, the Speedmaster AM6 MKII rear tire
  
• Modern compounds for good grip
  
• Tube-type
• Non-directional
• DOT approved
  

The Avon Safety Mileage is the default choice for so many riders on vintage machinery because its design is timeless. Crafted for use on the narrow, tall wheels that define vintage motorcycles, the non-directional, block or sawtooth designs are visually harmonious with an astonishing array of old motorcycles spanning marques of Euro, Japanese, and American manufacture. Why does a Safety Mileage look just right? Because the tire's been around in various forms for a very, very long time.

Avon has carefully updated rubber compounds over the years so the Avon remains relevant and provides performance riders need to stay safe. All too often, riders are forced into accepting substandard performance to achieve the right aesthetic appearance with vintage-pattern-tread skins. The Safety Mileage removes that difficult choice.

The Safety Mileage can be used in any position, but it's also meant to be paired with the Speedmaster, which has a similarly striking appearance and looks "correct" on many vintage machines that originally shipped with block-type rears and ribbed fronts. The Safety Mileage is a tube-type bun, so if you're fitting this to a modern tubeless wheel, remember to purchase a tube and double-check load and speed rating recalculations due to that tube before running the tire.
